MiR-224-5p Regulated the Expression of NR4A1 in Hypoxic Neurons. (A) The intersection of the predicted target gene results of miR-224-5p in miRDB, TargetScan, miRanda, and miRmap. The different color represents the distinctive method of prediction. There were three target genes of miR-224-5p, including NR4A1, RNF38, and IL1RN. (B) QRT-PCR analyses revealed that the mRNA expression of NR4A1 was decreased in hypoxic neurons (∗∗P < 0.01). (C) ELISA analyses revealed that the protein expression of NR4A1 was decreased in hypoxic neurons (∗∗P < 0.01). (D) Alignment of the seed regions of miR-224-5p with 3′-UTR of NR4A1. The red color indicated the pairing bases. (E) The relative luciferase activity was significantly decreased after treatment with miR-224-5p, whereas the inhibitory effect of miR-224-5p was abolished in the plasmid containing the mutant 3′-UTRs of NR4A1.
